Single owner. 2 years old. Barely touched. It looks new. Plays new.Only marks on it are on the pick-guard and on the cover plate on the back.

Set neck (not bolt-on). Not sure what pickups are in it, but I will probably switch to P-90s of some type.The trapezoid inlays look like they are just stickers on the rosewood fretboard, but they look real from a few feet away.Sustain is real good.

The guy who sold it is into rockabilly and bluegrass and didn't like how close the bridge is to the saddle.He prefers his Telecaster for the stuff he does.

It is made in China, but the workmanship on it is pretty darn nice. Neck and frets are finished better thanmy Gibson Faded (Dace played that one -- it had crescent moon inlays on the neck and an ebony fretboard,but the fret ends were sharp because it was a low-end Gibson).

Your guitar was made at the Qingdao Plant (Epiphone), ChinaOctober 2007Production Number: 04834

Gibson: QingdaoThe Gibson Qingdao Plant was opened in October 2002, Qingdao, China. It is the only plant run by Epiphone in Asia.Both acoustic and electric guitars are made here. The factory is dedicated to making Epiphone and only Epiphone guitars with the aim of producing higher quality guitars.

Thanks!I'll get some outside pics..... but there is 3 feet of snow on the ground and it's 20 degrees out....

I will def. change pickups. The stock ones are pretty good, but a bit muddy for me.Need something that BITES.

good ideas on the hardware. The body looks great. Would be a crime to paint it.

HELL..thinking about it, a CREAM pickgaurd would REALLY set off the RED, and look Fab if ya had Cream pups, with gold rings.Yep...Ya want to bring out the RED, and make the hardware POP!.Cream gaurd would be very nice looking.Gold will give you a high-end-vintage look.Cream, Classic look.
